How to make 4.4.2 version now we’ve 4.4.1 Galaxy Nexus phone
I am waiting for the Nexus 10 cost to drop.
I side loaded 4.4 to my nexus 7 2012 but just received the OTA to 4.4.2
I’m a bit over the nexus stuff myself I just got a galaxy S 3 and am much happier now. If I get bored I’ll flash a custom ROM. I had way to many compatibility problems with my N4
Can I get the features of the Android 4.4.1 if I get the update of 4.4.2 directly from 4.4?
WHy do I not have this update yet?? can someone please explain why other have received it and I have not?
I’m still waiting for 4.4.1 (or now 4.4.2) on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2012) devices. Hey ho, it’ll get here eventually.
Me too – same devices 🙂
Google stagger release updates so if there is a major bug not many people are effected by it. They do it with every update, if you haven’t noticed,
Only thing I notice is that the notification bar is translucent on the lock screen and they changed out the remaining blue bars on the app tray for white. Also a few revisions to they keyboard symbol layout and typing sounds. Just got it on my 2012 nexus 7.
Pleasantly surprised when I received the update today.
Got the update this morning on Nexus 5. Went straight from 4.4 to 4.4.2. Camera is noticeably faster, Photos is the default viewer.
Also, is it just me or has the colour saturation on the display been increased slightly?
Also skipped 4.4.1 and went straight to 4.4.2, only got my nexus 5 a week ago too
Why hasn’t the update arrived to my nexus 5?
same here man, I don’t know whats going on? I don’t wanna mess with ADB so Im just gonna wait
Google typically staggers its Android OTA updates, so you’ll get it soon enough.
If you’re impatient, you can download the images from the links in the article and install it yourself, although that’s somewhat more complicated than simply waiting for the OTA update.
Just got 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7 2012 (from 4.4.1), too early to tell any difference though…
Does anyone KNOW if there’s any truth in the fact that the order in which people received updates has nothing to do with where they live. ie Asking if anyone has received the update “in Australia” is pointless.
I did get 4.4 update within a day or two for my N7 2012 but had to wait almost the full two weeks for my 2013 model update. Other users here say they’ve gotten the 4.4.2 update but I’d certainly appreciate it if they were more detailed and confirmed they received this OTA.
Skipped 4.4.1 to 4.4.2
Same
Hey yes. It’s 4.4.2. Just installed it a few moments ago.
I would assume they found a bug at the last moment.
Still waiting for 4.4.1 on my N5!
Same!
Yet to receive 4.4.1 on my 2013 N7 ^_^’
Me too. Anybody received the 4.4.1 update OTA in Australia?
Not me.
Just clicked the check for updates option and I’m downloading 4.4.2 now. Hope you get it soon too.
Josh I wouldn’t hold my breath. We seem to be in the latter stages of OTA rollouts. Just adb sideload it then happy days :).
4.4.2 just came through this morning, skipping 4.4.1.
The HDR+ mode in the camera now has a progress indicator
Was already the case for Nexus 5 with 4.4.1
My N5 skipped 4.4.1 and went straight to 4.4.2
.. still waiting for even 4.4.1 for my N5 🙁
